I got great 5.75 years experience doing CAD, some engineering, and technical writing. I graduated from the 6th best college in the nation for Mechanical Engineering. I last worked at NASA on the Space Shuttle, Space Station, and Lunar Lander - at the BEST aerospace company you can work for - Jacobs ESCG.
I am being ignored for jobs by companies and recruiters in Chicago... I'm hurting and wondering why? ... Is it because of my felony or am I being blacklisted too?
Sounds like you may be over selling yourself, which may make you look "over qualified" for many positions. Im sure being a felon does have a little to do with it being that every company ask if you have been convicted of a felony in the last 10 years.
biggest load of BS in the world is the over qualified tag. What crap company overlooks some one who is more than capable. If their interviewers are worth their salt and everyone know the deal then its a win win situation. Cowards and the insecure trot out the over qualified excuse.

How are you doing? Feeling the same as me?
I think it's that yellow dress you wear.... Maybe you need to try red....

You could be the top of your class at Harvard and have the past three presidents as references, but if one thing is off, you won't get hired.
I couldn't help to look at your public profile. This isn't meant to be mean or closed minded, I'm a very open minded person, but do you dress as you do in your picture to your interviews?
A felony might prevent you from getting a job but I think most companies wait until a few interviews before they screen, it's an expense.
I don't think my resume is being ignored ... just used as paper to roll something that folks like to smoke.
